Hot air balloons lift off over a festival field in this scene, their colorful envelopes stacked against open sky. Mass ascensions like this became a regular feature of ballooning events in the twentieth century, drawing crowds who gathered to watch the slow, deliberate launches. Balloon festivals grew from early demonstrations of lighter-than-air flight, when the sight of a fabric envelope rising on heated air was still a novelty to most spectators. Look closely at the crowd and the staggered positions of the balloons to see how organizers choreographed these gatherings.
